INFOGRAPHIC: Why get a pickup?
If it’s not your top-of-mind choice, here are some factors that will make you reconsider getting this all-terrain ride

MANILA, Philippines – The pickup may seem like its not for everyone, but that doesn’t mean that it is a lesser kind of car. Most of the time the pickup is just wrongly judged.

Today’s pickup merges style and function. The possibilities are limitless with the cargo bed at the back that can carry anything from bikes, home furniture to kayaks. You can even set up a makeshift space with it for outdoor stargazing on Valentine’s Day, and make the ambience more romantic with blankets, cushions and a cooler with bubbly.  

Interior cabins are plusher and roomier for an entire family. And speaking of families, they will appreciate the pickup’s smooth ride (no more bouncing around like a jack-in-the-box).

Take it from a proud pickup owner

JK Austria, an assistant director for television commercials, had a pickup for his first car for 12 years, switched to a compact SUV, then switched back to a pickup in 2013. He says: “With my line of work, I need something that I can depend on with any road condition. With the large truck bed, I can basically put anything. There was even a time when we used the bed of my truck to put the camera with magnum dolly on it and used it as a camera vehicle.”

The pickup has several advantages, and JK gladly recommends it to anyone. “It is very easy to drive. I believe that pickup trucks nowadays really evolved from having a cramped backseat to having a spacious one with car-like comfort and amenities,” he says.
